Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology (TIET) has opened admissions for BE/BTech programmes. This year, the institute recorded an unprecedented number of applications for its undergraduate courses as well.

Now operational at dsai.thapar.edu.
TIET BE/BTech Admission Cutoff
The TIET BE/BTech cutoff percentiles in the first and second rounds of counselling ranged between 97 and 98. Several programmes witnessed intense competition, particularly Computer Science & Engineering (CSE), the newly launched Data Science & Artificial Intelligence (DSAI) programme, Computer Engineering, and Computer Science & Business Systems.
These sought-after streams drew top-performing students from across the country, contributing to a dynamic and academically driven cohort. Additionally, there has been a marked rise in demand for traditional engineering disciplines such as Civil, Chemical, Mechanical, and Mechatronics.
Prof. Padmakumar Nair, Vice Chancellor, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, said, “We are proud to maintain a merit-based system where most of our branches admit students exclusively through JEE Main, establishing a benchmark for academic excellence and national competitiveness. At TIET, we emphasize clarity, capability, and character. Our approach blends academic rigor with real-world relevance—ensuring students are not only industry-ready but also future-ready.”
